I used my Italian Sausage, Kale and Cannellini Bean Soup as a springboard here, and expected it to taste quite similar and yet, much to our surprise, Steve I both loved this one significantly more! Something about the way the chicken blended with the beans and the added orzo, basil and parsley just made it a more cohesive dish. It was spectacular and an instantly repeatable keeper.

That's a real kitchen joy - being able to take an already established recipe of mine and transform it into something even more delicious. Amazing. Love it.
